Bellevue Middle School

I love this school. Top quality teachers and school environment. This is the best Middle School in Nashville. All the staff deserve a pay rise.

Bad students= bad school. Most disrespectful group of children I have ever been around. The school needs more discipline to ensure a safe environment for those who actually go there to learn. If you want a babysitter and your kids to advance their street smarts very quickly, send em here! Parens of these children should be ashamed (and imprisoned!).

Awesome nieighborhood school. Discipline instituted for those who want to detract from hard working students. AP classes are great teachers have a good deal of experience but are not antiquated. No nonsense. Parents who are involved and don't expect the teacher to be babysitter and do their job will find their child will thrive.

Not such a good place for all students,my experience is different, careless teachers, management. 20 out of 1 that is my rating.

Excellent IB School! Our daughter had a great academic and social 3 year experience at BMS under the leadership of Dr. Kelli Hargis. She has done an amazing job hiring terrific / qualified teachers. Colonel Hedges/ Math!!! Ms Speed/ Spanish, Ms Murphy / Social Studies!! Mr. Siebert/ English!!! Thank you for preparing our daughter well for high school/college prep courses! She is thriving. Good Kids, Good Parents and Good School Culture. Get involved and feel confident that your child can thrive at BMS. Michelle Kacki

My son started 5th at BMS this year in the pre-IB class track. We've been pleased with the instruction so far and he LOVES school so much more this year; says he's actually SAD when it's the weekend! We haven't found homework to be heavy, ~1 hr or less a night. No bully problems experienced. Band teacher's great and typing class is challenging. I feel like the teachers/admin CARE about the students. I haven't seen much call for parent involvemt. Complaints: VERY LITTLE PE (it's an 'elective' that he'll take for a semester); it's used to be a HS, so it's got a great theatre, but is letting the tennis courts and baseball fields fall to ruin and not be used for students as they could be; our school system is stuck in post-WWII mode with language instruction -- I'd like to see Indian or Mandarin taught instead of French.

I am a student who attends Bellevue Middle School in the 8th grade. I would not recommend this school to anyone who would like to be succesful in life. I have attended this school for one year and they teach very little. The teachers do the very minimum to reach state requirements and they will pass even the laziest students. I would not recommend this school for any parents who want their kids to have a safe and secure learning environment and a good basis in high school.

We have two children in the International Bachelorette Program at BMS. They are thriving in their educational experience. The school not only challenges them academically, but surrounds them a social environment that is helping to promote strong citizenship. We are pleased with their peers and with the parent envolvement at the school. We are convinced that we are getting the quality education in a public school that would come with a large price tag at a private school. The community feel at this location is unique. The quality of the administration shows on a daily basis. Words do not do this school justice!
